The Germany Scholarship is made possible through equal donations from the German federal government and private sponsors. To be eligible for the scholarship, applicants must be currently enrolled as students or hold an offer of admission at the time of application. The selection process takes numerous aspects into account, including excellent results in qualifications already obtained by the applicants and their participation in social engagement work.

Scholarships for Refugees / Refugees Welcome

As a uniquely international and cosmopolitan university, ISM wants to actively support the higher education of refugees. It is hoped that four bachelor’s and two master’s scholarships will allow asylum seekers to start building a future in Germany.

Scholarship applicants must have a residence permit to guarantee they can complete the respective course. As with all other applicants, documents specifying university entrance qualifications and language skills must be submitted. Knowledge of German is not essential for studying at ISM, as some courses are taught in English.

The integration of refugees and international students at our global locations in Dortmund, Frankfurt/Main, Munich, Hamburg, Cologne and Stuttgart is supported and facilitated by the student Counseling and the International Office. Applicants who gained their university entrance qualifications in Germany cannot apply for this specific scholarship but can use the standard procedure to apply for a scholarship.

Note: The course does not automatically entitle you to a student visa.
